Deepika wrote on her IG: "Grateful to the universe that inspite of weather forecast of heavy Rains we were able to shoot and finish this sequence. I personally didn’t even took a bio break from 1 pm to 6:15 pm as I was wearing a Navvari saree and vanity was far. It wasn’t that someone has told me to do so. Here I’m expressing that whole unit even an actor especially when you’re a protagonist goes to a lot of stress when these kinds of sequences needs to shoot in an ongoing show which comes on air every day(sic)."

"But everything feels so great when we are able to perform the way it’s expected and able to finish it on time. Magically or coincidentally we were shooting this on the last day of visarjan so actual Ganpati visarjan were also going on. The vibe was magical as there was devotee too. Air was full with Ganpati Bappa morya sounds. High energy was around me.

Thank you to each one of you for loving our Show and watching it every day without fail from Monday to Sunday from 9 pm to 10 pm," the post concluded.
